If kept in a cool place, this yeast will last a long time.","Use one cup of yeast for one large baking. In making yeast, from time to time, use a cup of the same with which to start the new yeast.","If yeast is not obtainable to start the fermentation in making yeast, mix a thin batter of flour and water, and let it stand in a warm place until it is full of bubbles. This ferment has only half the strength of yeast so double the amount must be used."],"categories":[],"prep_time_minutes":null,"cook_time_minutes":null,"total_time_minutes":null,"servings":null,"yield_text":null,"difficulty":null,"source_name":"gutenberg","source_url":"https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/12350","source_ref":"pg:12350:w59:9","authors_url":null,"license":"Public domain (US)","license_url":null,"extraction_confidence":0.9,"content_hash":"c1626ee05b84d4ba893fd639cd407f0a58f857a109ca8a7d611b707091636034","created_at":"2026-08-02T16:59:23Z","updated_at":"2026-08-02T16:59:23Z","notice":"Historical recipe, reproduced as published: it may reflect its era's ingredients, language, and food-safety practices.
